GIVING AND TAKING A LIGHT.

The Manner Of spanish, German, Eng
Iish and American smokers.
There is certain variety in the manner of
giving and taking light for cigar that is
interesting to all smokers The Italians and
French successfully copy tue Spanish style,
which is the most graceful and elegant of all,
the only possible objection 10 it betug that it
may sometimes carry poiteness beyond "A rea-
sonahe range But after all it is simple and
friendly enough. The Spaniard bows and
asks his neishhor for light The latter, re
turning the bow, Immediately presents him
with his cigar, holding out the lighted end at
a slight angle between the thumb and second
finger The other takes the cigar and, after
procuring the needed fire from it, reyerses it
sklllfully and returns it, the entire operation
being accompanied by another graceful bow,
and each raises his hat as he turns to go
away. The Spaniard always smokes through
his nose He considers it extravaganza to
waste any good smoke through his mouth,
and inveterate smokers in all countries agree
with him.
The German is more polite in asking for
Light than he is in giving it. Even with the
best intentions, in the latter case his efforts

times, when Ills cigar is smoked down nearly
far enough he will throw it away immeii-
ately after granting q request for fire. This
among the Latius is considered rude aud
boorsh in he extreme, and is SOM times re
gafed As positively insulting.
The average Engiishman hesitates before
he gives light. and finally acts as If he bad
achieved a mighty feat in condescension In
stead of lifting his hat his hand is more likely
10 go into his pocket, and he is apt to give
parting puff with an air OF Indignation as he
stalks away. Possibly this comes from the
fact that he never asks for a light himself, and
is always well armed with matches
The American, of hate. seems to be some
what averse to letting any one take light
FROM his cigar, He takes it for granted that
it must he much better than his neighbours,
and, not wishing to contaminate it. he
answers an appeal for fire with a match
Sometimes he politely lights the match, and
Ill such eases he presents il with an air good
enough for any Spaniarl. But this some

parentage. The Irish peasant always strikes
